Anyone tried this for the old King George? Thinking of giving it a go down at a nearby beach.

If so what's the best depth of water, fly, retreive and conditions?

Thanks,
KGW

if i braught my fly rod to sydeny i would if tried it the whiting were very aresive. i was so close to bringing it byt there was no room in the car left.

try a grey ghost it would immatate a little white bait and if the whiting are being very aggresive they will hit it

little surface flys like a tiny crease fly should also get some rises.

make sure you let us know how you go

im not shure how meany other fly fisherman are on this site i dont think there are many. by the way im pretty new to fly fishing so dont take me as being the expert

you couyld try fish the shallows with a surface popper, you can tie them using packaging fome, walk the shallows casting into holes, near weed or shallow drop offs, worked for me at bemm river.

i would use a small shrimp or some thing like that they should jump all over it

kiel it worked for me at bemm river aswell im a regular there and worked every time at the mouth of th river

wat sort of whiting r u catching king george or not

I've been trying to get my fly fishing buddies to come to St leonards cause the poor mans bone fish is in abundance! I would use in the bay anything from a small surf candy and other smaller bait patterns aswell as shrimp patterns even glow bugs! The smaller the better. The ideal depth of water is between 1.5 - 4 meters. The St. leonards boat ramp is an ideal area with plenty of flats and grass beds. I tend to find usually there will be Garfish with the whiting so its handy to take a floating line with you!

Hi all,

Thanks for your replies. I still haven't got round to trying it, but will go real soon. I think Hare's Ear and shrimp patterns will be the way to go. I'm sure it will work.

Thanks.
